Sam (Lijomol) tells her mother (Rohini) that she is in love with someone. Her mother says, bring her home, and after having a meal, I will say okay. The mother is shocked to see Sam's lover because Sam shows that her lover is a girl named Nandini (Anusha). This causes a fight in the family, but Sam insists she won't break up with Nandini. The climax provides answers to various questions about what happens next.
Many years ago, a Hindi film called "Fire," featuring Nandita Das and Shabana Azmi, explored lesbian relationships and sparked much discussion. Since then, a few films have addressed female-to-female love, but "Love is Common Property" is one such film. Unlike the bold style of "Fire," this film handles the subject delicately without any obscenity.
Lijomol, who played alongside Manikandan in the movie "Jai Bhim," takes on a surprising lesbian role. She battles her parents, Rohini and Vinith, over her love for Anusha, presenting an innocent face akin to a cat drinking milk, making one wonder, "Why has she become like this?"
However, the argument between Lijomol, Anusha, Vinith, and Rohini turns into a debate on the terrace. Vinith questions if all women thought like this, wouldn't the world run out of children? Even though Lijomol provides a proper response, accepting it is hard. If children can be born, why should these women adopt? It’s unclear why the director forgot that another male-female pair is necessary for this.
The director’s response in the climax about female-to-female love may be acceptable to some. However, it boldly states the truth that such a society exists right around us.
Supporting characters Deepa and Kalesh are used for comedy. Joe Baby has produced the film. Kannan Narayanan’s music softly graces the love tunes. Sree Saravanan’s cinematography captures the scenes without concealment.
Director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan confirms he is a unique creator.
Love is Common Property – Sometimes, truth is bitter.
